Windows 8, 10 App Check: Endomondo, the Social Fitness Network

The official Endomondo app has been available for Windows 8 users in the Windows Store for quite a while, but only now have we decided to have a look at it. You can also check out our review of Fitbit for Windows 8, another important Health and Fitness app. The good news is that there is an official Endomondo app avaiable in the Windows Store for touch and desktop users, but the bad news is that this is merely a companion app for those of you who have the app already installed on iOS and Android. However, as more smaller Windows 8 devices will start appearing on the market, I think it will make sense for Endomondo to release a standalone Windows 8 app. We will be keeping an eye on this and will report you when and if this happens.
